PUNQ

Rated 19 Dec 2020

What stood out to me the most was the terrific acting job William S. Hart did with his character. Undoubtedly a darker western with a high white man's moral tone. Was so weird seeing big Hart in scenes with a young and petite Bessie Love. She was super adorable, he tortured and scary, yet she showed no fear near him. She becomes his strength as he stands up to the men abusing women in this outlaw town. Easy to get why Hart is one of the biggest western superstars in cinema history.
